One of the things that I love the most about Baby Benny is his cowlicks. He has a cowlick on each one of his shoulders.
They line up almost exactly and I am always tempted at Halloween to buy one of those gag arrow through the head costumes for Benny with the arrow of course lining up with his cowlicks. That way, I could say that Benny was shot by Cupid’s arrow. Cupid being our cat, of course.

Happy Birthday, Benjamin!
Today is Baby Benny’s Birthday. Despite my disbelief, Benny is turning 6 years old today! It is hard for me to believe as it seems like only yesterday that I was bringing home this little bundle of energy.
Keeping with the tradition I started on Luna’s birthday, I would like to share a few of the things I have learned from Benny over the years.
Benny is about as quirky as they come. He likes to hang out with Puffy, he has to go potty after he eats even though he just went potty, he thrives on routines, obsesses about the little things and has an odd fear of sewers and drains. But, he’s OK with that. That is who he is and he accepts it. All those things make him not just a pug, but make him Baby Benny.
Benny is cute and he knows it. If I had a dollar for every time someone has asked us if we are interested in breeding him, Benjamin would be set for treats for the rest of his life. But, it’s not his wrinkly good looks that I love the most. It is his gentle soul. Benjamin wouldn’t harm a fly and he has a way about him that shows you he is all about spreading love and pug kisses.
Benjamin has taught me that sometimes we just have to let loose and run around the sofa. Life is too short to be serious all the time. We have to find something we love that helps break up the monotony of the day and make sure to make time to do it - and not feel guilty about it.
Tell Benny he is a good boy and you will see him smile. He doesn’t try to diminish the compliment. He accepts it and feels proud of himself.
I have had a few neighbors over the years tell me that Benny looks so proud when he is out on a walk and I have to agree. Benny goes from point A to point B with his head held high and his chest out. He is proud to be Baby Benny.

This is my bin, so why is Henry up here? I thought we were on the same page.

Sometimes, when I look at Luna I just can’t help but laugh. I mean this is her idea of comfy.
Sometimes I wonder if she does stuff like this just to make me laugh.

Well, it looks like Benny has taken matters into his own hands.

Benjamin, being the creature of habit that he is, loves to sleep in a little bin that I have in my office. To make things more comfy for him, I have put a dog pillow in there and even though it is a tight fit it is one of his favorite spots to sleep during the day.
The other day Henry beat Benny to the punch and claimed the bed for his own. When Benny came in to claim his usual spot he was quite perterbed that Henry was already in it. He sat at the foot of the bin and whined telling Henry that he would like him to move. Henry didn’t budge and I told Benny sorry, but Henry was there first. This did not sit well with Benny and the next thing I know, Benny makes a jump for it and plops himself down right on top of Henry.
Benny was hoping that Henry would become uncomfortable and leave his basket, but no such luck. Henry stayed and Benny was forced to make himself comfortable around Henry. No matter how hard he tried, Benny just couldn’t get comfortable. But, never once did the thought cross his mind to go lay on one of the other two dog beds in my office. Nope, this is Benny’s sleeping spot and where he sleeps everyday, so he would rather be uncomfortable than have to change his routine.
